A Magnificent Ruin.

The enforced resignation by Mr. Robert
Garrett of the presidency of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad corporation deserves
more than passing notice He inherited
from his father control Of railroad sys-

Western Union great express company !;
an Independent sleeping car company, and
other important enterprises The railroad
was one of the three great trunk lines,
and its stock was eagerly sought by care

in particular was proud of the
road its stock was received as
cash payment for debts and Johns Hop
kins university depended largely on the
dividends declared on the stock it held
for its income. But Mr.. Robert Garrett
was far from making his fathers place
good He gave, it is said, more attention
to society matters than to the vast bust
ness interests under his control and the
gossips had a good deal to say about his
fOndness for trousers and neCkties. In
time stories to the detriment of the com

Garrett was glad to sell out the control of

the express company was sold and then
the telegraph system went, at less thar
one half its value, to its bitterest enemy.
Mr.. Garrett hurriedly returned from
Europe to feebly protest against the lat

Garrett proceeded to his home in Balti-

high purpose stands at the head of is
profession. 1t was to him that Professr
HUXLEY referred when he said that al

never missed book that had that hon
ored name upon it," Mr.. BEsANT, who
was the subject for Figdro's recent article
on Coming Men," was educated at
Kings College, London, from whence he
proceeded to Cambridge, and graduated
Master OF Arts with high mathematical
honors. subsequently he occupied a
professors hair in the Royal College.
MaurltluS. his literary partnership with
JAMESRICE produced in tenyears morethan
a dozen novels and two plays, the names
of which have become familiar TO our
ears as household words" BEsANT's best

Conditions of Men," which is popularity
believed to have resulted in the erection
of the Peoples Palace of East London.

We know there are those who object to
fiction entirely, and others who do not
want it with their newspaper. But Il
newspaper has to cater for classes of read
ers, and we firmly believe a very large
number OF readers will hail the appear
ance Of this tale with great satisfaction.
1t Is rather late in the day for any words
to be required from rs in defence of fic-
ton; it IS, as Mr.. BEsANT said in lee
ture at the Royal Institution, an art
worthy to be called the sister and the
equal of painting, sculpture. music, ana
poetry. Her field is as boundIess. her
possibilities as vast, and her eXcellencies
as worthy of admiration as may be claim
ed for any OF her sister arts. Our own
experience of the benefit derived from
good fiction gives us every confidence in
the wisdom of publishing this tale in our
colu We bespeak our readers care
full consideration of the tale and, II APP
proved, their cordial recommendation Of
it to their friends. We hope through it to
make many new friend, and have every
expectation that at the close of the story,
all will be able to include Herr Paulus'

them for good. We are printing each

The statement telegraphed from Wash
ington, and since denied by Secretary
Bayard, that the American members of
the fish commission had agreed that free
iiah for Canada could not be made a basis
of the coming negotiations, created CON
siderable stir in Nova Scotia.
The chief thing that Nova Scotia cares
for is the admission of its fish free into the
United States. a Halifax despatch says
The feeling is universal to-day in Halifax
that the f1sh commission will be Il tarce
Nova SCOtlanS do not want commission
TO define the headland question, nor that
OF commercial privileges. They take the
position that these questions are defined
by the treaty of ISIS, and that by that
treaty both Canada and England must
stand. The commercial uuiOnist5 don't
want to see the commission settle the
fishery question alone, because they urge
that the fishery middle must be included
IN the solution of the whole commercial
union project. A large section of our peo-
pie have no confidence whatever in Cham
berlaip, and Irish Canadians would in
finitely prefer that things should remain
as they are rather than that Cham berlain
shoul d have any hand in its settlement.
Our business men say that the only thing
wanted by Americans is the right of com.
merce and the privilege of traushipmeut
OF their 1sh in bond. 1t is acknowledged
that they can carry on their fisheries
without buying bait here.
The despatch adds that neither the
English nor Canadian commissioners will
grant the two things desired by the
Americans and if they did, their action
would never be ratified by the Dominion
Parliament. This is probably about so.
The commission can perhaps reach a con
clusion satisfactory to its members, in re-
gard to what rights Americans have I'M
der the treaty of 1SlS but it is hard to
tell what more it can do

NJ. c. Jewett of North Adams found
what he considers great curiosity while
grading the grounds in rear of his block.
1t is large rock that, so far as any one
knows, has not been exposed to the light
of day before for at least 80 years, and yet
there was hole in it that was evidently
made with a drill. Mr.. Jewett can re-
member when the land on which the rock
was found was covered with Il forest, and
as the rock was some distance below the
surface of the ground the discovery of "a
drill hole in it was surprise TO him and
hes excited much curiosity in the town.

The per cent of mortality recorded of

Carl Spreckles, the great sugar boss
has arrived in this country with supply
of machinery for the manufacture of SUI
gar from beets. He procured the machin-
cry in Germany as 1t could not be had in
this country, but Mr.. Spreckles thinks
our machinists may be able to duplicate
it, now that they have something to go
by, He considers American inventors the
best in the world and says that all over
Europe he found American mowers, reap.
ers, threshlng machines, and other agri.
cultural implements in common use. In
London he had occasion to take passage
in an elevator which ran at extraordinary
speed, and on asking the elevator man
where it was built he replied, "Oh this is
an American lift" Mr.. Spreckles studied
the sugar beet and beet sugar questions
among the German and French farmers
and manufacturers and proposes to estab.
lish the industry in California.
